I really like the pad you used! Really nice round sound. "Mountains Lullaby" is a fitting name, kind of calmly suspended on a precipice.

I liked the way the lead-tones were ...i don't know like off balance of the pads but in a controlled way, you had it shifting around in an interesting progression which demonstrated some discipline.

Pretty cool stuff.

Beautiful ambience, your sound design and melodies work very seamlessly to create a strong mental image. Very immersive listening experience !

Very cool, I think your track evokes well the lonely and meditative mood of the mountains !

Sound is very clean, super enjoyable to listen to. Very nostalgic and intimist, well done, really !

I love that you called it Mountain's Lullaby because yeah, you nailed that in your sound! I love how it feels like it has that mountain-y echo and haunted, bittersweet melancholic feeling to it. I really like this take on the theme

I really like the section where the piano comes in and I thought it gave the piece a lot of structure in contrast to the beginning which was more explorative. In the first section, I think there's maybe better chords or chord clusters that could have been chosen. I felt more generally, that there were a lot of tense chords without a proper release chord to tie it all together but I can understand if that's what you were going for.  It's a really pretty lullaby overall and super meditative.

For real the beginning part doesn't even has chords lol. The synth that i used was so spacial that if i put in more than one note, the sound would be a mess.

I hear you, I assumed you were trying to outline chords with the lead line or bell sound in the first section, like in an arpeggio but maybe you were going for something different and that’s cool too. I like your pixel art btw, I forgot to mention that :)

Well, since the synth would be blurry, I used it as a root note and arpeggiated it with the “bell” (actually, an electric piano drowned in reverb) and I don't remember if at the time I was thinking of other things with this choice, but the idea was to create some rhythm, because without the arpeggio it would be a bit boring. And thanks, the pixel art I did a bit rushed, I was late to post the song.

Love the Bells in the track and feels very festive!!

The reverb gives the bell a nice sense of space. Lovely moment at 0:41 when the piano comes in and nice melody around that point.

I think this really captures the feeling of the image!

Really nice emotional melodies and harmonies and a very clear and nice sounding mix

I think the ending works nicely too

Really like this one!

Such a melancholic lullaby. I think the production is really good, it's minimalist in the best possible term. The usage of the sound effects to support the piano is very accurate. The result is very emotional. Great work

Thanks for the comment. For real I wasn't happy with the result, but I'm glad that you liked it and that I managed to pass the message that I wanted of a melancholic scenario. Thanks again for the feedback, it came at the right time.
